A Local Success Story: Keeping Produce Fresh from Chicago’s South Side
Bulk Orders Only (no small quantities)
A family-owned produce wholesaler in Chicago’s South Water Market was losing thousands each month because wooden pallets would splinter, absorb moisture, and cause boxes of fruits and vegetables to shift during trucking runs to Milwaukee, Indianapolis, and Detroit. After reaching out to Custom Packaging Products, they switched to used plastic pallets. Within three months, product damage claims dropped by 70%, warehouse workers reported fewer injuries, and the wholesaler began selling surplus pallets back in truckload quantities, turning what used to be waste into extra revenue.

Why Chicago Businesses Need Used Plastic Pallets
Chicago is the transportation and logistics hub of the Midwest. With O’Hare International Airport, major rail lines, and trucking corridors like I-90 and I-94, businesses here move goods across the entire nation. Whether you’re in manufacturing, food distribution, or e-commerce, your packaging has to withstand tough conditions.
Local Challenges for Chicago Operations
- Weather Extremes: Hot summers and freezing winters cause wooden pallets to crack, warp, or absorb water. Plastic pallets resist moisture and temperature swings.
- High Freight Volume: With Chicago as a crossroads for trucking and rail, pallets must handle long-haul shipments without failure.
- Storage Constraints: Warehouses in areas like Cicero and Elk Grove Village need nestable pallets to maximize space efficiency.
- Regulatory Compliance: Exporting through O’Hare cargo hubs requires ISPM-15 compliant solutions—our heat-treated pallets meet international shipping standards.
